Question

Calculate the molarity of the two solutions.

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 0.100 M

b) 0.395 M

Explanation:

a) Calculate the molarity of a solution that contains 0.200 moles of NaOH (solute) in 2.00 L of solution

We will use the following expression for molarity.

[NaOH] = moles of solute / liters of solution

[NaOH] = 0.200 mol/2.00 L = 0.100 M

b) Calculate the molarity for a solution that contains 15.5 g of NaCl (solute, 58.44 g/mol) in 671 mL of solution

We will use the following expression for molarity.

[NaCl] = mass of solute / molar mass of solute × liters of solution

[NaCl] = 15.5 g / 58.44 g/mol × 0.671 L = 0.395 M
